    A collection of works by OK-RM, a unit formed by British graphic designers Oliver Knight and Rory McGrath. This book was published in conjunction with an exhibition held from April to July 2024 at X sign Space in Hangzhou, China, one of the few design-focused exhibition spaces in the country. This exhibition marked OK-RM's first large-scale exhibition in Asia. This book is the result of discussions held in London and Berlin between OK-RM and James Langdon, a Berlin-based graphic designer and writer. It was created and recreated as an idea for the book itself. Several versions were discussed aloud, pondered, and rejected. Before this book took on its physical form, it began as a written manifesto and gained aggregation and structure by taking shape as an exhibition in Hangzhou. The negotiations during its production as a product of industrial design brought weight and uniqueness to the pages. The final stage sought a collection of synchronicity, where a sequence of technical parameters mirrored the content and rhythm. Titled "A Meaningful Order," this book comprises 328 pages and presents a new history of the shared reality in design. It expresses designed objects on their own terms, giving an account of vision, material, and curiosity. In terms of printing, it brings together multi-spot color lithographic printing techniques, featuring a curated selection of works from OK-RM's extensive archive spanning over 16 years. This book is a space dedicated to research and experimentation, detached from academic structures. It has generated examples, prototypes, and trials. Across 26 chapters arranged alphabetically from A to Z, it presents a dialogue drawn in a style befitting designers, performing with a bold and uninhibited playfulness with language, direction, and storytelling. It captures an ongoing dialogue by its editors, who are creators and thinkers of design. It also includes a lengthy discussion in the form of an interview with architect Jack Self, introduced by Lila Matsumoto, an editor and poet who specializes in teaching poetry and creative writing. In this social context, the book is an everyday material and an object of artistic expression. It considers designed objects and the meaning that emerges from the interaction of form and context. What does it do? Why does it do it? How is it done? It presents new ideas about how designed objects relate to the culture they have produced and the culture they can create. These ideas strive for clarity and transparency but do not sacrifice transcendence, or going beyond limits.
